The Church’s One Foundation
Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Voices Together #397 (2020) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Lyrics: 1 The church’s one foundation
is Jesus Christ, our Lord;
we are a new creation
by water and the Word.
From heav’n he came and taught us
what perfect love can be;
through life and death he sought us,
and rose to set us free.
2 The church in ev’ry nation
is one through all the earth;
our charter of salvation,
one God, one faith, one birth;
one name together blessing,
one holy food we share,
to one hope ever pressing,
at one in work and prayer.
3 Still, schisms, tribulation,
and hatred fuel our war;
we wait the consummation
of peace forevermore.
The saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 Yet we on earth have union
with God, the Three in One,
and mystic, sweet communion
with those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
God, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
may live eternally. Topics: Body of Christ; Confessing Faith; Unity; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Tune Title: AURELIA

is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
she is his new creation

from heav'n he came and sought her
to be his holy bride;
with his own blood he bought her,
and for her life he died.
2 Elect from ev'ry nation,
yet one o'er all the earth,
her charter of salvation
one Lord, one faith, one birth;
one holy name she blesses,
partakes one holy food,
and to one hope she presses,
with ev'ry grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder
men see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping,
their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
4 The church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
to guide, sustain, and cherish,
is with her to the end;
though there be those that hate her,
and false sons in her pale,
against both foe and traitor
she ever shall prevail.
5 'Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
she waits the consummation
of peace forevermore;
till with the vision glorious
her longing eyes are blest,
and the great church victorious
shall be the church at rest.
6 Yet she on earth hath union
with the God the Three in One,
and mystic sweet communion
with those whose rest is won:
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
like them, the meek and lowly,
on high may dwell with thee. Topics: Blessed Hope; Christ As Head of the Church; Church; Church Christ's Presence in; Church As Communion of Saints; Church Triumph of; Church Unity of; Reformation Day; Union with Christ Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

FRENCH -
1 L’église universelle
a pour roc Jésus-Christ;
elle est l’oeuvre nouvelle
que sa parole fit.
Habitant le ciel même,
il vint se l’attacher,
et, par un don suprême,
mourut pour la sauver!
2 L’église en sa prière
unit à leur Sauveur
les peuples de la terre,
soumis au seul Seigneur.
C’est son nom qu’elle acclame,
son pain qui la nourrit;
elle verse à toute âme
l’espoir qui la guérit.
3 Honnie et méconnue,
menant de durs combats,
elle attend la venue
de la paix ici-bas.
Contemplant par avance
la fin de son tourment,
la grande délivrance,
le repos permanent.
4 Aujourd’hui, sur la terre,
elle est unie à Dieu,
et, par un saint mystère,
aux élus du saint lieu.
Rends-nous, comme eux, fidèles,
et reçois-nous, Seigneur,
dans la vie éternelle,
dans l’éternel bonheur!

1 Az egyháznak a Jézus a fundámentoma,
A szent Ígére épült fel lelki temploma.
Leszállt a mennyből hívni és eljegyezni őt,
Megváltva drága vérén a váltságban hívőt.
2 Kihívott minden népből egy lelki népet itt,
Kit egy Úr, egy keresztség és egy hit egyesít.
Csak egy nevet magasztal, csak egy cél vonja őt,
és egy terített asztal ád néki új erőt.
3 A világ fejedelme feltámad ellene,
Vagy hamis tudománytól gyaláztatik neve,
S míg egykor felderül majd az Úrnak hajnala,
Csak virrasztói kérdik: Meddig az éjszaka?
4 Sok bajban, küzdelemben meghajszolt, megvetett,
De szent megújulásért és békéért eped,
Míg látomása egykor dicsőn beteljesül,
S a győzedelmes egyház Urával egyesül.
5 A három-egy Istennel már itt e földön egy,
S az üdvözült sereggel egy nép és egy sereg.
Ó mily áldott reménység: Ha itt időnk lejár,
Te boldog szenteiddel fenn Nálad béke vár!
